The Visitation

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed drawing of a countryside scene. In the illustration, two figures greet each other outside a two-story building. One figure extends their arm, while another leads a donkey along a path. A small dog runs towards them. Trees and shrubs surround the setting, creating a rural atmosphere. The drawing is executed with detailed linework and cross-hatching techniques.
